Last Tuesday was an interesting day in the minor leagues. There were two games during the day and only one at night. Luckily, I got to sit and watch Trevor Clifton pitch without any interruptions. It was a fun game to watch as he went six innings and gave up only four hits, while striking out seven and walking one. Clifton threw 94 pitches, 60 of them for strikes, and Tennessee easily won 8-0.
For the past three summers, I have been following Clifton’s career closely. First, it was by radio when he was in Boise, where he began to flash the potential of the kind of pitcher he would become.
